Call Down the Hawk by Maggie Stiefvater (Dreamer trilogy book 1)

SPOILER ALERT! The Dreamer trilogy is a continuation of the Lynch brothers’ story that begins with the Raven Cycle quartet. Please be advised that for maximum enjoyment, those four books should be read first in order to understand the story.


“The dreamers walk among us . . . and so do the dreamed. Those who dream cannot stop dreaming – they can only try to control it. Those who are dreamed cannot have their own lives – they will sleep forever if their dreamers die.


And then there are those who are drawn to the dreamers. To use them. To trap them. To kill them before their dreams destroy us all.


Ronan Lynch is a dreamer. He can pull both curiosities and catastrophes out of his dreams and into his compromised reality.


Jordan Hennessy is a thief. The closer she comes to the dream object she is after, the more inextricably she becomes tied to it.


Carmen Farooq-Lane is a hunter. Her brother was a dreamer . . . and a killer. She has seen what dreaming can do to a person. And she has seen the damage that dreamers can do. But that is nothing compared to the destruction that is about to be unleashed. . . .” - taken from Goodreads.com


Why did I wait so long to start this book? Our Lynch brothers are back and the implications of being a dreamer as well as being dreamed are explored. Ronan finds out that he’s not alone. Enter Jordan Hennessy who has a massive secret of her own as a fellow dreamer. When Hennessy and Ronan’s paths converge, they learn there is a group determined to end all dreamers in order to save the world. With that cliffhanger ending, I’m glad that the second book is already available.


Book two in the trilogy, Mister Impossible, is out now.
